TMD-LOL, "nobody who matters is going to give 2 pieces of dung about the results of some silly, non-scientific poll on the AF. The level of paranoia among some of you is unbelievable."

Expressing himself In his inimitable derogatory manner-

The stats on this post so far are 1,573 views, with 118 replies, and of those replying, I count only 20 people debating back and forth.

Granted some of the 20 may view the post multiple times , which might account for several hundred views (assuming views count repeat visits from the same posters). Considering the stat, who comprises the remainder of those who are reading for 1,573 views, and what might any one of them do with the information ? We simply don't know.
 
If it doesn't show up in the data - including the subject's own sales history - then how does it affect the appraisal?

BTW, the hubris allegation is just another variation of the Swedish Argument. Similar to "you're a pee-pee head so I don't need to engage your ideas".

Lol it obviously shows up in the data with enough digging. Is this non geo competent person going to know that the sales showing up in the last 12 months are not good comps? How should they know that they need to dig deeper to solve for the issue they don't know about?

Hubris is the only word to describe what you guys are saying. Again, either that or you guys don't think that things that impact value at the micro level matter.
 
Sure,
No reason to go national unless you can support geo-competency can be gained by out of area appraiser , without limitations, simply by using the internet.

Lemme ask you this: Do you only employ one shallow and superficial level of research for every assignment you perform (the likes of which you've alluded to a couple times in this thread already), or do you vary the level of research from one assignment to the next based on what you already do and don't know of them?

Without limitations? Strawman much?

When have you ever performed an appraisal that didn't employ assumptions and limitations? When have you ever only offered one level of personal inspection? Have you NEVER performed an exterior-only, or used plans/specs in lieu of physical measurements?
 
right now,

I’m at a birthday party for a friend so i’ll Give you the short answer

:rof:

You changed your “without limitations” post and stated such.

Straw man shill.

What you would have to do is do the maximum level of research and analysis for every property. There basically wouldn't be different levels of research.

I only clarified that I think that's a strawman argument. What appraisals do you ever perform "without limitation"?

The question was never about what you would have to do on any given assignment. I never implied or established an upper limit of effort and I never implied that you would only be using the same SOW that you use in your backyard and expect it to come out exactly the same.

What i did do was I framed the question as to what you think you're capable of doing.

Yeah I know. And I posted several times that without any limitations it's is possible to appraise. What is the point of saying no limitations though? I can probably build a car without limitations. Maybe a house too.
